This toy is inspired by Hestu – character of Zelda Breath of the Wild video game, published by
Nintendo.
I am using 100% Cotton “Sport - 5ply | Fine” yarn, a 1.4 mm hook and following US crochet
terminology. For stuffing you can use polyester wadding or wool.

Tips
There is a chance that you will lose the beginning/end of the row; to avoid this, use a marker. It
can be a safety pin, clip, or thread of contrasting color.

3. Body
3.1 Legs
For Hestu’s body you will use 2 colors of yarn, a darker color, and a lighter color of your choosing.
The color codes I used can be found on page 2.
Start with the lighter yarn
First leg
1 row 6Sc in magic circle (6)
2 row 6INC (12)
3 row BLO 12Sc around (12)
4 row [Sc, INC] x 6 (18)
5 - 6 rows Sc in each Sc around (18)
7 row 3Sc (mark the front loops only of these 3 stitches with a colored pen/marker,
marked in red in my Image 2), then continue crocheting 15Sc (18)
Fasten off, cut the yarn.
Image 1 Image 2 Image 3
Second leg
1 row 6Sc in magic circle (6)
2 row 6INC (12)
3 row BLO 12Sc around (12)
4 row [Sc, INC] x 6 (18)
4
5 row Sc in each Sc around (18)
6 row 3Sc, Sc (mark this stitch with a marker, yellow in
my Image 4), 14Sc (18)
Now you will crochet the middle section that will connect the two
legs. Continue crocheting on the second leg:
• 3Sc, Chain, Turn (3) Image 4
• Skip chain, 3Sc, Chain, Turn (3)

• Skip chain, 3Sc, Chain (mark the loop of this chain using a marker, orange in my Image 6),
Turn (3)
Image 5 Image 6
Take the first leg and connect it with the second leg by crocheting 3Sc. When crocheting these 3
stitches, Skip the chain, take the back loops only from the second leg (colored in blue in my Image
7) and the front loops only on the first leg (the ones you marked with a colored pen, red in my
case). Once you have connected the two legs continue crocheting on the body.
5
3.2 Body
Continue crocheting in spiral (continuous rounds), with lighter yarn
1 row FLO Sc on the first leg (mark this stitch with a marker, green in my Image 10), 6Sc,
INC, 7Sc (you have now finished the stitches on the first leg), Sc on the marked
chain in the last row of the middle part (marked in orange in my Image 11, you
can now remove the marker), continue crocheting 12Sc in the transverse loops
from the middle part (I marked them with red dots in Image 12), Sc on the marked
stitch on the second leg (you can now remove the marker, yellow in my Image 13),
continue crocheting on the second leg 6Sc, INC, 7Sc, continue crocheting 12Sc on
the middle part in transverse loops (I marked them with blue dots in Image 14)
(57) Consider this the end of the first row.

You will now start alternating the yarn colors.

But before this, if you do not know how to change colors seamlessly, here is a short video showing
how to change colors:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nQka5l6bRXUkD463EapNpYmgI4wXMxXG/view?usp=sharing
In the last single crochet before the color change, insert the hook in the indicated stitch, pull up
a loop (Images 17 & 18). In other words, make a single crochet but do not finish it! Grab the new
color with your crochet hook and finish that single crochet (Images 19 to 22). You have a nice
finished single crochet in previous color and a new color loop on your hook (Image 22). The next
single crochet will be done in the new colored yarn. Hold your new color yarn as you usually do
and crochet as you would normally do. The only difference is that you place the other yarn, the
old color, on the back of the stitches of the previous row (see Images 23 to 32 on how to crochet
the next 2 stitches in the new colored yarn). This will hold the yarn hidden and carry it along with
you. I prefer this method instead of cutting the yarn after each color change.
In the photos below I am showing a different project, so do not worry if your Hestu body is not
looking as in the following photos, these are just for reference on how to change colors
seamlessly.

6. Crown
With green yarn
Before starting, please note that the chains and slip stitches in the following instructions for the
crown do not count as stitches!
You will crochet crowns in 3 sizes (two large ones = Crown #1, one middle size = Crown #2 and a
small one = Crown #3)
Crown #1 – (large size) - Make 2 pieces following the below instructions

I’ve made a video for this that you can watch following the link below
https://youtu.be/MLIILEUbNcA
Make a magic circle
1 row 5 short bobble stitches in the magic circle (5) Below I will explain you how to make
the short bobble stitches for this row. You might be familiar with the bobble
stitches, but these are a little different, they are one loop shorter, that is why they
are called short.
For each short bobble stitch, you will always start with Chain 2 then continue with Yarn over,
insert hook in the magic circle, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops on the
hook, yarn over again, insert hook in magic circle, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through first 2
loops on the hook, yarn over again, insert hook in the magic circle, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull
through the first 2 loops on the hook, yarn over again, insert hook in the magic circle, pull up a
loop, yarn over, pull through first 2 loops on the hook. We now have 5 loops on the hook. Yarn
over again and pull through all the 5 loops on the hook. Mark this short bobble stitch with a
marker. After each short bobble stitch, you will make 1 Sl St inside the magic circle.
Then for each of the next 3 short bobble stitches you will follow the above instructions (do not
forget to add a marker to the finished bobble stitch). For the 5th short bobble stitch, repeat the
28
same instructions (also add a marker) but for the last Sl St, instead of making it in the magic circle
(like the other ones) you will make the Sl St in the very first short bobble stitch you made in this
row (the first one marked with a marker).
Pull the magic circle tight and continue with the second row
2 row 2 short bobble stitches in each of the 5 marked stitches from the first row (10).
Do not crochet in the slip stitches or chains from previous row, only crochet in the
marked short bobble stitches.
For each short bobble stitch, you will always start with Chain 2, then yarn over, insert hook in
the stitch (the one that was marked), pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops
on the hook, yarn over again, insert hook in the stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through first
2 loops on the hook, yarn over again, insert hook in the stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull
through the first 2 loops on the hook, yarn over again, insert hook in the stitch, pull up a loop,
yarn over, pull through first 2 loops on the hook. We now have 5 loops on the hook. Yarn over
again and pull through all the 5 loops on the hook. Mark this short bobble stitch with a marker.
For this first short bobble stitch finish with a Sl St in the same stitch where you made the bobble.
This row calls for 2 short bobble stitches in the same stitch, so you need to make another short
bobble stitch in the same stitch with the first one. Start with Chain 2, follow the same instructions
as before, mark the new short bobble stitch with a marker pin. The only difference is that you
will now make the Sl St in the next marked stitch.
Continue with the same instructions until you have finished this row.
3 row 1 short bobble stitch in the first stitch then 2 short bobble stitches into the next
one (you increase). Repeat this 5 times (15)
Follow the same instructions, only this time you will increase (2 short bobble stitches into the
same stitch) every other stitch.
4 row 1 short bobble stitch in each of the first two stitches then 2 short bobble stitches
into the third one (you increase). Repeat this 5 times (20)
Follow the same instructions for the short bobble stitches, only this time you will increase every
other 2 stitches.
5 row 1 short bobble stitch in each of the first three stitches then 2 short bobble
stitches into the fourth one (you increase). Repeat this 5 times (25)
Follow the same instructions for the short bobble stitches, only this time you will increase every
other 3 stitches.
6 row Sc in each of the 25 stitches of the short bobble stitches. Crochet as loosely as
possible! Make sure you do not crochet in the chains or slip stitches, but only in
the bobble stitches marked. (25) You can see how the piece tightens and folds by
29
itself. It should fold towards you. If it folds the other way (this should not happen)
you need to manually turn it around as the bobble stitches need to pop on the
exterior.
10 row (3Sc, INVDEC) x 5 (20)
12 row (Sc, INVDEC) x 5 (10)
Add the stuffing material.
Fasten off. Cut the yarn, leave a long end for sewing.
Make another crown following the same instructions above.
Crown #2 – (middle size) - Make 1 piece with the below instructions

Make a magic circle
1 row 5 short bobble stitches in the magic circle (5)
2 row 2 short bobble stitches in each of the 5 marked stitches from the first row (10)
4 row 1 short bobble stitch in each of the first two stitches then 2 short bobble stitches
into the third one (you increase). Repeat this 5 times (20)
possible! Make sure you do not crochet in the chains, but only in the bobble
stitches marked. (20) You can see how the piece tightens and folds by itself. It
should fold towards you. If it folds the other way (this should not happen) you
need to manually turn it around as the bobble stitches need to pop on the exterior.
30
Crown #3 – (small size) - Make 1 piece with the below instructions

Make a magic circle
1 row 5 short bobble stitches in the magic circle (5)
2 row 2 short bobble stitches in each of the 5 marked stitches from the first row (10)
possible! Make sure you do not crochet in the chains or in the slip stitches, but
only in the bobble stitches marked. (15) You can see how the piece tightens and
folds by itself. It should fold towards you. If it folds the other way (this should not
happen) you need to manually turn it around as the bobble stitches need to pop
on the exterior.

Embroider the Maracas. I forgot to do this at this stage, and I have done it once everything was
assembled (which was very difficult) so my advice is to add the embroidery now. You should
embroider 4 circles on each of the Maracas along their circumference. Use white, black and a
darker shade of red yarn to embroider the details as seen in the photos below.
